This works great!

Seriously... Y'all... This thing works great! When I first got it, I loaded up some previous mixes I had done and tried the VCC System out on those. That went really well. Then I did a mix with the VCC System instantiated from the beginning. When I was done... I turned it off. Holy Toledo! Amazing.

Here's the deal: I'm calling it a system because it uses multiple plug-in components that work together. There's a great "Group" Function that lets you set all the instances at once. This is good because there's one on every channel. However... Even when they're grouped you can still adjust them individually by control-clicking the controls. The interface is really well put together.

You really just have to hear it. Get the demo... Do a mix with it and then turn it off and listen to the difference. You'll be hooked.

With an awesome interface that includes the aforementioned group function, the ability to have multiple groups with which to use that function, the freedom to audition multiple consoles on the fly, and the fact that it actually sounds amazing... I'm in love with this thing. What a great tool!

Slate Virtual Console Collection

This plugin has changed the way I mix. I am going back and redoing everything that I have done for the past year.

I have never had the opportunity to work in a large studio with an expensive analog board. So I was ignorant. I knew that my mixes didn't have the richness that I was looking for, but I didn't know how to get it - until I bought this plugin.

Harmonic distortion is the answer. I now put this plugin on every track that I mix. VCC is the starting point. It is so much easier to get a full, musical and satisfying mix using this thing. I anxiously await the day when I have made so much money mixing with VCC that I can afford real analog gear.

This was absolutely the best $275 I have spent all year.

Awesome Product, worth the money

It can be hard to justify to any financial decision maker why you should buy this product because anyone who's never mixed or even used a session may not understand the benefits of this plug-in....However, if you mix in the digital world and wish you had an analog console, this is a definite must. It brings life that only mixing outside of the box can. I was working on a mix project and after mixing a few songs, and then trying this on a suggestion, I had to buy it within the next hour. I had to add an instance to every channel in my PT Session and it breathes of life and just has depth that the mix didn't have. Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Performance is super, like I listed...48+ channel mix and an instance of VCC is on each track and each mix buss...the Neve is my favorite with the brit 4k on some of the busses along with the API on some of the others (perc session)

Subtle but effective

Everything I have used the VCC on has made it better. Putting the VCC on before you mix makes a huge differance. All the consoles have their sonic placement. What I like most is the grouping function and the ability to disable globaly. Probably the best most affective plugin I've purchased besides my UAD. It makes all your plugs function a little different and still works well with your analog gear also. Improves the stereo image and placement of items.
